Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Welcome to Year 2 which is a year in which we really blossom and develop our independence as leaners.

We are a hardworking and always strive to achieve our best in all aspects of school life.

Our Teaching Team

Our class teacher is Mrs Cooper and we are also taught by Mrs Burnside and supported by Mrs Joyce.

A Typical Day in Year 2

In Year 2 begins with a morning task where we revisit previous learning and practice basic skills.

We follow a daily spelling and grammar program called Jungle Spelling, which builds on from the phonics learnt in EYFS and Year 1.

Also during the morning, we complete a Maths and English lesson. Afternoons are when we complete our Science and Foundation Subject lessons.

We complete different types of reading throughout the week so it is important that children bring their reading book and reading records every day.

At the minute, our PE days are Monday and Tuesday. PE kits must be in school as we have extra PE events sometimes and need to have our kit ready!

Homework

Developing reading skills are a real priority in Year 2. We use reading in almost every subject and whilst we read daily in class, we encourage everyone to read at least 3 times a week at home. Children are able to choose a book for pleasure from the library. Please sign reading records when books have been shared at home.
